THIS IS BY NO MEANS AN ORIGINAL WORK, AS I BORROW EXTENSIVELY AND HEAVILY FROM VARIOUS
GAMES WORKSHOP PUBLICATIONS. THIS IS BY NO MEANS AN ATTEMPT TO INFRINGE ON GW IPS, AND
EVERY RIGHT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT, ETC IS EXPLICITLY THE OWNERSHIP OF GAMES WORKSHOP.
THAT BEING SAID, THIS CODEX WAS A WORK OF LOVE, PLEASE DO NOT
ALTER/CHANGE/REPUBLICATE/ETC WITHOUT FIRST TALKING TO ME ON EITHER
BOLTERANDCHAINSWORD.COM OR DAKKADAKKA.COM. THANK YOU

AUTHORS FOREWARD (REPRINTED FROM BOLTERANDCHAINSWORD FORUMS, AND YES, I

REMOVED ALL THE SMILEYS):
FIRSTLY, I DID MY BEST TO FOLLOW THE METHODOLOGY OF THE NEW CODEX SYSTEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, ALL THE NEW-STYLE CODEXES I OWN STILL HAVE VARIABLE SQUAD SIZES (ORKS,
ELDAR, CSM). WHAT I REALLY WANTED, THOUGH, WAS A DARK ANGELS STYLE SQUAD TYPE, I.E. THE
SQUAD IS X POINTS FOR Y MODELS WITHOUT DEVIATION. AND FOR THE ENTRIES THAT COULD HAVE
LARGE NUMBERS, YOU CAN BUY ANOTHER Y MODELS FOR ANOTHER X POINTS. THIS IS ON
PURPOSE. THIS IS DEATH GUARD. NOT THE PURGE, OR THE LORDS OF DECAY, OR THE I-DON'T-
WANT-TO-BUY-METAL-MODELS-SO-I-AM-USING-PLASTIC-CSMS-AS-PLAGUE-MARINES MARINES (AND
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH DOING THAT, FYI, I'M POKING FUN AT A BUDDY OF MINE, HOPE YOU READ IT
DUDE). THE DEATH GUARD ARE NURGLE'S CHOSEN SONS, AND IN ORDER TO HAVE BECOME THE
CHOSEN SONS YOU NEED TO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER OVER THE LAST 10,000 YEARS
TO ENDEAR YOURSELF TO THE LORD OF FILTH. SO YOU MUST BE FAVOURED. YOU DON'T GET
REWARDED FOR DOING WHAT YOU MUST DO. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WANT TO LOSE NURGLE'S
BLESSING AND TRULY FEEL HOW ASTOUNDINGLY HORRIBLE THAT WONDERFUL CIRCUS OF DISEASE AND
PESTILENCE FESTERING IN YOUR GUT TRULY IS...

SECOND, OBVIOUSLY, NURGLESQUE DEMONS WILL BE INCLUDED. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT BE CUT-
AND-PASTE COPIES DIRECTLY FROM CODEX: DEMONS. OR MAYBE THEY WILL (AUTHORS NOTE: TO A
GREAT EXTENT THEY WERE). I HAVEN'T REALLY DECIDED.

SECOND, PART B - I AM UNSURE OF WHAT THE POINTS COST OF DEMONS SHOULD BE, OR THE
SUMMONING METHOD. OBVIOUSLY, C: DEMONS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT YOUR OPPONENT GETS, AT
MINIMUM, 1 SHOOTING PHASE AT THE DEMONS BEFORE HE HAS TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT THEM. BY
MY FIGURING, I COULD EITHER A) GREATLY INCREASE THE COST OF THE DEMONS (MAYBE+50%...ISH)
AND USE THE SUMMONING RULES FROM C:CSM, OR USE THE POINTS COST IN C: DEMONS AND USE
THAT BOOKS SUMMONING, I.E. STANDARD DEEP STRIKE. OPINIONS PLEASE.
(AUTHORS NOTE: I WENT WITH THE STANDARD DEEP STRIKE RULES FOR ALL DEMONS, INCLUDING
THE GUO. THIS, HOPEFULLY, WILL ALLOW THE POINTS COST TO STAY AT THE LEVEL OF CODEX:
DEMONS AND NOT BE UNBALANCED WHEN BEING FIELDED WITH MARINES.

THIRDLY, I AM NOT TRYING TO RESSURECT C:CSM V3.5. AT ALL. EVER. IT WAS A GOOD BOOK, IN
IT'S DAY, BUT SO IS THE NEW BOOK (SHOOSH YOU DISAGREERS, I CAN HEAR YOU FROM HERE IN
PHOENIX, NO NEED TO QUOTE ME AND DISAGREE, WE ALL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL). FURTHER DOWN
THE PROPSED RULES FORUM IS A 'DEX SOMEONE WROTE FOR THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN, AND IT
WAS LOADED WITH ALL SORTS OF REDICULOUSLY POWERFUL GEAR, CREATED WEAPONS, NEW PSYCHIC
POWERS, ETC. I AM SURE (IN FACT, I GUARANTEE) HE MEANT WELL WITH HIS LIST, WANTING TO PLAY
THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN IN ALL THAT HE SAW THEIR GLORY TO BE. BUT I READ THAT LIST AND
STARDED LOOKING FOR MY FONDU SET, SO I COULD DIP SOME DELICIOUS HOMEMADE SOURDOUGH
INTO ALL THAT CHEESE. THIS LIST IS MEANT TO BE AS CLOSE TO WHAT WE WOULD ACTUALLY BE
GIVEN SHOULD A DEATH GUARD CODEX BECOME A REALITY, NOT WHAT I WISH IT COULD BE BASED
ON C:CSM 3.5.

FIFTHLY, IWELCOME ALL CRITICISM, CONSTRUCTIVE OR OTHERWISE. IF IT'S CONSTRUCTIVE, I'LL LOOK
AT WHAT YOUR SAYING AND AMMEND MY ENTRIES AS I SEE APPROPRIATE. THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A
LIVING-STYLE DOCUMENT, AS BETTER IDEAS THAN MINE GET TO ME, I WILL GLADLY INCLUDE THEM. IF
YOUR COMMENTS FALL INTO THE "OTHERWISE" CATEGORY I'LL JUST IGNORE YOU, HOPEFULLY, BUT AT
LEAST YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.
DEATH GUARD HISTORY

DEATH GUARD TACTICS

DEATH GUARD LORDS
BEFORE THE TIME OF THE HERESY, THE DEATH GUARD NUMBERED 7 GREAT COMPANIES.
EACH COMPANY HAD A COMMANDER, A SUPREMELY SKILLED WARRIOR CAPABLE OF GREAT FEATS IN
COMBAT AND CAPABLE OF HOLDING THE RESPECT OF THE EMPERORS FINEST WARRIORS. ASIDE FROM
MORTARION HIMSELF AND HIS DEATHSHROUD, THESE 7 COMMANDERS WERE THE GREATEST WARRIORS
IN THE LEGION. THEN CAME THE HERESY, MORTARIONS ACQUIESCENCE TO NURGLE, AND THE
GIFTING OF THE LEGION WITH THE STATUS OF NURGLES FAVORED WARRIORS. WITH THE DEFEAT OF
HORUS AT THE HANDS OF THE EMPEROR THE DEATH GUARD FLED TO THE EYE OF TERROR, ALONG
WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE TRAITOR LEGIONS. THERE, MORTARION TOOK COMMAND OF A DEMON
WORLD AND RESHAPED IT IN THE IMAGE OF HIS HOMEWORLD, BARBARUS, AND WAS ELEVATED TO THE
RANKS FO THE STRONGEST DEMON PRINCES. NOW, ANY PLAGUE MARINE WHO HAS SWORN LOYALTY
TO MORTARION MAY RISE TO THE RANK OF A CHAOS LORD AND COMMAND A WARBAND OF HIS
FELLOW DEATH GUARD UNTIL A STRONGER WARRIOR TAKES HIS PLACE BY FORCE. THE GREATED
DEATH GUARD LORDS COMMAND VAST NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUAL WARBANDS, FORCING OTHER LORDS,
SORCERERS AND EVEN MIGHTY DEMON PRINCES TO HIS SERVICE.

DEATH GUARD LORDS ARE POWERFUL WARRIORS WHO COMMAND THE LOYALTY OF OTHER
DEATH GUARD CHAOS MARINESTHROUGH A COMBINATION OF FIDELITY AND FEAR. THEY ARE
DISGUSTING MEN, IF MEN THEY CAN STILL BE CALLED. LIKE ALL THE DEATH GUARD, AND TO A
LESSER EXTENT ALL PLAGUE MARINES, THE DEATH GUARD LORDS HAVE BEEN BEQUEATHED WITH
NURGLES FAVOR. THEY ARE TREMENDOUSLY RESILIENT, THEIR BODIES ROTTEN AND DECOMPOSING,
AND A HOST FOR ALL SORTS OF VIRULENTS AND PLAGUES. THEY STRIDE ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD,
THE STENCH OF ROT AND VAST CLOUDS OF FLIES AND OTHER VERMIN CAST BEFORE THEM. WHERE
THEY STRIKE CORRUPTION FOLLOWS WOUNDS PUTRIFY, METAL CORRODES, FLESH WASTES AWAY.
EVEN MORE TERRIFYING IS THAT THE GREAT LORDS OF THE DEATH GUARD SEEM NOT TO SUFFER
FROM SOME OF THE DEBILITATING EFFECTS OF NURGLES GIFTS THAT ARE FELT BY THEIR BRETHREN.
A DEATH GUARD LORD LOSES NO POTENCY IN HIS COMBAT SKILLS. IN FACT, SUCH IS THE GREAT WILL
COMMANDED BY THESE MASTERS OF BATTLE THAT THEIR SKILLS HAVE INCREASED SINCE THE TIME OF
THE HERESY, IN SPITE OF NURGLES MALIGNANT GIFTS. WHERE A DEATH GUARD LORD HAS ONCE
WALKED, A GREAT WAILING AND STRIFE CAN BE HEARD IN HIS WAKE, IF ANY OF NURGLES FOES WERE
ALLOWED TO SURVIVE.

PLAGUEBRINGER: AS MUCH A SYMBOL OF NURGLES FAVOR AS A WEAPON OF WAR, A

PLAGUEBRINGER IS A POWEFUL DEMONIC WEAPON THAT SEETHES WITH THE CORRUPTING FORCE OF
NURGLES WILL. A PLAGUEBRINGER OBEYS THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL RULES:
A PLAGUEBRINGER REQUIRES 2 HANDS TO USE, AND IS A POWER WEAPON.
A PLAGUEBRINGER ADDS AN EXTRA D6 ATTACKS IN CLOSE COMBAT. IF A RESULT OF A 1 IS
ROLLED, THE BOUND DEMON WITHIN THE WEAPON REBELS THE DEATH GUARD LORD MAKES
 NO ATTACKS THIS ROUND AND SUFFERS ONE WOUND WITH NO ARMOUR SAVES ALLOWED.
THIS ABILITY MUST BE USED EVERY TIME THE DEATH GUARD LORD MAKES ATTACKS
A MODEL WITH A PLAGUEBRINGER HAS POISONED ATTACKS THAT WOUND ON A 4+ (SEE THE
WARHAMMER 40,000 RULEBOOK).

TERMINATOR ARMOR: A MODEL WEARING TERMINATOR ARMOR HAS A 2+ ARMOUR SAVE AND A
5+ INVULNERABLE SAVE. MODELS IN TERMINATOR ARMOR ARE CAPABLE OF MOVING AND FIRING
HEAVY WEAPONS AND MAY ASSAULT AFTER FIRING HEAVY AND RAPID FIRE WEAPONS. HOWEVER,
MODELS IN TERMINATOR ARMOR MAY NOT SWEEPING ADVANCE.

UNITS AND CHARACTERS IN TERMINATOR ARMOR CAN BE TELEPORTED ONTO THE BATTLEFIELD. THEY
MAY ALWAYS START THE GAME IN RESERVE AND ARRIVE USING THE DEEP STRIKE RULES, EVEN IF IT IS
NOT A PART OF THE MISSION BEING PLAYED.
DEATH GUARD SORCERORS
THE DEATH GUARD HAVE NEVER BEEN KNOWN FOR THEIR PSYKERS. BEFORE THE HERESY,
THEY HAD FEW LIBRARIANS ALTHOUGH THOSE THEY TENDED TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY POWERFUL
WARRIORS, LIKE FIRST CAPTAIN CALUS TYPHON. AFTER THE HERESY, MORE AND MORE DEATH
GUARD HAVE EMERGED TO SHOW SORCEROUS APTITUDE, THOUGH BY NO MEANS DO THEY HAVE AS
MANY SORCERORS AS THEIR FELLOW TRAITOR LEGIONS. THE SORCERERS OF THE DEATH GUARD ARE
PREDISPOSED TO MANIFEST POWERS THAT EPITOMIZE THE GLORY OF NURGLE. WHERE A THOUSAND
SONS SORCERER MIGHT SEND CORRUSCATING ENERGY SURGING FROM HIS OPEN FIST THAT BLASTS
APART HIS ENEMIES, A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WOULD SIMPLY LOCK WILL HIS ENEMY TO BEGIN TO
DECOMPOSE BEFORE HIS EYES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, A DEATH GUARD SORCERER IS MOST SUITED TO
SPREADING NURGLES ROT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF MORTAL SPACE.

DEATH GUARD SORCERERS, WHILE NOT AS SUPREMELY SKILLED AS A DEATH GUARD LORD,
STILL HAS SKILL AND ABILITIES FAR EXCEEDING THAT OF A NORMAL PLAGUE MARINE. THEY
WARBANDS THAT GATHER AROUND A DEATH GUARD SORCERER ARE OFTEN MORE FANATICAL THAN
THOSE WHICH GATHER UNDER A LORD WHERE A LORD WAGES WAR FOR HIS OWN ENDS, OR UNDER
COMMANDS FROM MORTARION HIMSELF, A SORCERER IS MORE ATTUNED TO NURGLES WILL, AND
TYPICALLY WAGES WAR TO SATISFY HIS MASTER.

OFTEN A NURGLING WHO HELPS HIS MASTER BETTER ATTUNE HIMSELF TO THE TIDES OF THE WARP.
A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WITH A FAMILIAR MAY TAKE A SECOND PSYCHIC POWER AT THE LISTED
POINTS COST. ADDITIONALLY, A DEATH GUARD SORCERER WITH A FAMILIAR MAY USE AN ADDITIONAL
PSYCHIC POWER, SO LONG AS ONE OF THE POWERS USED IS NURGLES ROT. A FAMILIAR IS ALWAYS
ASSUMED TO SHARE THE SAME BASE AS ITS MASTER. THE FAMILIAR MAY BE MODELED ON A SECOND
BASE FOR AESTHETIC REASONS, BUT DOES NOT AFFECT GAMEPLAY IN ANY WAY.

TERMINATOR ARMOR: A MODEL WEARING TERMINATOR ARMOR HAS A 2+ ARMOUR SAVE AND A

DEATH GUARD DEMON PRINCE
THE ULTIMATE AMBITION OF ANY MEMBER OF THE DEATH GUARD IS TO FOLLOW IN THE
FOOTSTEPS OF HIS PRIMARCH AND ACHIEVE ELEVATION TO DEMONHOOD. A DEATH GUARD LORD OR
SORCERER RISKS DEATH, MUTATION AND OTHER UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS OVER SEVERAL LIFETIMES OF
WAR, AND BEING REBORN AS AN IMMORTAL DEMON PRINCE IS NURGLES GREATEST REWARD TO HIS
MOST TRUSTED SERVANTS. THE ELEVATION TO DEMON PRINCE IS BLISSFULLY AGONISING, AS BONES
ELONGATE AND STRENGTHEN, MUSCLE AND SINEW STRETCHES AND GROWS TO FAR SURPASS MORTAL
CAPABILITIES. THE GIFTS OF NURGLE ARE MANY, AND OBVIOUS ON THE MASSIVE FORM OF A DEMON
PRINCE INFECTED OPEN WOUNDS AND SORES ABOUND, PUS LEAKS FROM GAPING HOLES IN THE
DEMONS HIDE, AND CONTAMINATED BONES AND ORGANS ARE PLAINLY VISIBLE IN THE HORRIFIC FORM
OF A DEATH GUARD DEMON PRINCE.

THE DEMON PRINCES OF NURGLE ARE THE MOST ATTUNED WARRIORS TO THE WILL OF
NURGLE, AND WAGE WAR IN HIS NAME ACROSS THE MATERIAL REALM. THE MIGHT OF THIS LIVING
ICON OF THEIR DEITY DRIVES THE DEATH GUARD TO EVEN GREATER FEATS OF CORRUPTION AND
DEATH, THE WILL TO SPREAD THE BLIGHT AND RUIN OF THEIR MASTER DISSEMINATED TO THE ENTIRE
HOST OF DEATH GUARD THROUGH THEIR DEMONIC COMMANDER

THEM LIKE AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING DARKNESS. OTHERS ARE GRANTED COPIES OF THE WINGS OF THE
INSECT PESTS WHO CARRY NURGLES DISEASES. A DEMON PRINCE WITH WINGS MOVE IN THE SAME
WAY JUMP INFANTRY (SEE THE WARHAMMER 40,000 RULEBOOK). IN ADDITION, MODELS WITH WINGS
MAY BE DROPPED FROM LOW FLYING GUNSHIPS OR TRANSPORTS, AND MAY THEREFOR MAY BE KEPT IN
